Luxury steam yachts built at Leith 1875-1928

Explores over 100 magnificent steam yachts built by Leith shipbuilders, primarily Ramage & Ferguson, between 1870 and World War 1. Documents a Scottish shipbuilding tradition.

This book explores the amazing story of the magnificent luxury steam yachts built at Leith. More than 100 of these beautiful vessels were built between 1870 and the end of World War 1, primarily by the shipbuilding firm Ramage & Ferguson.

Floating palaces built with consummate skill by the shipbuilders of Leith, this tradition was often overshadowed by the more well-known and fairly larger concerns based in the west of the River Clyde.
